LyicsThat glorious day is drawing high,
When Zion's light shall come,
When Zion's light shall come;
She shall arise and shine on high,
Bright as the morning sun,
She shall arise and shine on high,
Bright as the morning sun.
The north and south their sons resign,
And earth's foundations bend,
A bride adorn'd, Jerusalem
All glorious shall descend,
A bride adorn'd, Jerusalem
All glorious shall descend.
The King who wears the splendid crown,
The azure-flaming bow,
The azure-flaming bow,
The holy city shall bring down
To bless his church below,
The holy city shall bring down
To bless his church below.
The holy, bright, angelic band,
Who sing on harps of gold,
In glorious order then shall stand,
Fair Salem to behold.
Descending, with sweet, melting strains
Jehovah they adore:
Such shouts through earth's extended plains
Were never heard before.
Let Satan rage and boast no more,
Nor think his reign is long:
Though saints are feeble, frail, and poor,
Their great Redeemer's strong.
He is their shield and hiding place,
A covert from the storm,
A fountain in their wilderness,
And their eternal home.
